99% of democrats have very thin skins.
I'm more of an FDR Democrat/Nixon Republican.
Neither of those men had thin skins.
FDR had such a thin skin about criticism and resistance by Congress and the people to what he wanted to do...he tried to expand the Supreme Court to 9 justices so he could pick people that would rule in his favor.
Nixon had such a thin skin that he had an enemies list.
Your recollection of history sucks greatly.
I would say that the reason you like them is their attempts to completely control business.
